✔ 最佳答案

The correspondent English idiom is:
Wink at small faults/ wink at something= pretend that you have not noticed something especially something bad or illegal

turn a blind eye...on something

這才是真正英文諺語，當中a...eye一隻單眼blind盲，便包含了另一隻眼冇盲，turn是有主動意味，即是表達故意或是自己知道的行為。

唔信我的話，我找了一個香港人英文site，自己查下：可以打入「隻眼開隻眼閉」都會查到的。

I can tell you that clp8888(002) and Jenkin(003) both are correct.

(004) 'blink at' is wrong!!!

blink at something - to overlook something, such as a mistake. (As if one had blinked one's eyes rather than seeing the error.)

e.g. We can't blink at what evil you did!
